As a pet owner, and planning a condo purchase as a vacation home, which condo/townhouses allow owner's pets , the size of a labrador retriever? I would hate to have to board my pet for a month or longer. Are gold course villas suitable? Where do people walk their dogs? Are dogs allowed on the beach in the off season, say January and Feb. What about state parks?

I know that normal leash laws should be observed and poop and scoop (Obviously) Are there any other considerations I might be missing. Where are the best places for a dog owner to reside?
